Between 1914 and 1948, the French artist Georges Rouault produced a monumental series of prints entitled, Miserere (“Have Mercy”) in response to the horrors of World War I. Combining Christian iconography with frank depictions of wartime cruelty, the darkly expressionistic works were Rouault’s attempt to grapple with the reality of the senseless loss and destruction wrought by war and those who wield power.

The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s dazzling comedy of manners, wonders if finding out that you are who you have been pretending to be is an absolute triumph or total disaster.
